Review on πŸ”₯ UCTRONICS Raspberry Pi Cluster with Metal Rack Case: 4 Removable Layers, Cooling Fans, and SSD Mounting Plate - Supports Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+/3B and Other B Models by Justin Guldin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price is worth it! Trust metal, not plastic!

I just love this thing! so many cluster solutions in recent years, that's definitely possible!, do yourself a favor, order a SATA SSD adapter, you won't regret it! without fear of making something with your own hands, you can make more out of this case, just like me. Pros: - Thing is solid, doesn't wobble or move like other plastic/plexiglass etc pi cluster cases. We're talking hard metal and thick here. - Everything fits, screws hold everything in place. - Fans do a GREAT job of cooling CONS - Some screws may not fit due to the thick powder coating. Just use the same screw to "thread" it through the coating without the 2nd piece as with my attached pictures and give yourself some mesh protection. Hiring, disabling things, I've had some serious close calls. The fans are running fast, but I just don't want to find out. like "fast" Note on UCTRONICS: I love this product! I'm confused by the lack of great reviews, this is such a good product that needs a few updates. I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for a flexible/semi-rigid magnetic mesh lid, you know, to save my fingers. Also, to maximize space, you should allow the SSD cage to be installed on the top cover. Mesh Cover Ingredients: - Some wood/plywood 1/4" thick. - Metal chain link mesh. - Lots of 1/8 in. or smaller staples along with a staple gun. - Black spray paint. - Self-adhesive Velcro. * Optional wood/crazy glue .Just follow the drawings, make a wooden frame with the given dimensions.Cut the wire mesh to fit your wooden frame.Secure everything together.Spray paint, let dry, no seriously, wait!Adhesive velcro on both sides glue. Done.

Pros
  • Easy to assemble, it only takes a few minutes to tighten the screws, saving your time and patience; Compact design, can be placed in any narrow space but leaves enough space for PoE HAT, 2.5" SSD baseboard as well as airflow.
Cons
  • -
